From the producers of Bojack Horseman, Amazon is bringing us this rotoscoped trip-fest that's giving me some very good A Scanner Darkly vibes. Rotoscoping is a trend that never really took off like it should have. The colors, the surreal n...
It was bound to happen, but Pixar seems to be receiving more criticism as of late. Notwithstanding the very necessary changes at the top, there's been mounting concerns about the amount of sequels (albeit not always direct ones) being made...
Anyone who saw The Dark Tower made a poor choice in seeing a movie. If you were a fan of Stephen King's book series you were nothing but let down and if you weren't then you just saw a rushed, uninteresting film that made little sense....
Whereas the original Dark Crystal is a staple of many childhoods, for me it was perhaps a bit before my time. I only saw it within the past few years, and was of course impressed by the staple Henson wonder and production, but my adoration...
We've all been waiting for it. One of the best aspects of the His Dark Materials trilogy, which is cram full of great aspects, is the armored polar bears. However, the teasers and trailers for the new series had pretty much avoided sho...
Here we are, at the precipice of the season 8 premiere and the first new episode of Game of Thrones since August 27, 201 and the fervor is at an all-time high. Unlike some television series, GOT’s ratings have continued...
Adaptation is a tough thing to nail. You can jump from one medium to another of course, but it feels like making the leap to the movies is the final destination for a lot of original works. You don’t hear of many video games or comic ...
The movie in your head is sometimes better than the actual movie. Think of the hype engendered by seeing good trailers and clips, or reading teases of the plot and descriptions of big scenes. The imagination fills in the gaps so well that t...
Netflix keeps pumping out the anime, and now they've ordered eight episodes of an original project set in the fertile world of Greek mythology. The series, titled Gods & Heroes, will follow one of Zeus' illegitimate sons as he realizes ...
If one thing's going to strike you straight off the bat with Starfish, it's going to be that this movie is perhaps too hip for its own good. You got cassettes, rotary phones, plaid shirts, old movie theater tickets, tea, Victorian-era furni...
Sometimes a truly weird Nicolas Cage film can slide between the cracks, slip beneath the floorboards, never to be discovered. This is a pitiful shame that needs to be avoided at all costs. Between Worlds recently released on DVD and has bee...
If you play Dungeons and Dragons or any sort of tabletop roleplaying game, you’ve probably heard of Critical Role. The weekly web series involves a bunch of nerdy-ass voice actors who get together and play a homebrew D&D campaign....
The His Dark Materials books are some of the best young adult novels out there, with an incredibly original premise, and deeper-then-you-think religious allegory, and a powerful and moving plotline. Yet, as every other YA book series ...
My favorite animal as a child was a wolf, because I was a little boy, and wolves are objectively the coolest thing a little boy could like. As an adult I still find them very rad, and films featuring wolves (or weird deer) tick up about ei...

Despite it being early in production, Netflix is quite happy with what they've seen of their upcoming television adaptation of The Witcher series of novels and video games. So happy, in fact, that they're ready to greenlight future seasons ...
Robert Zemeckis is a storied director with a wonderful reputation for enjoyable and uplifting movies that also contain in them a deeper more personal tale of overcoming adversity. Forest Gump is one of my favorite movies because of its fant...
When Netflix and Jim Henson Studios announced they were making 10-episode a prequel to The Dark Crystal I was hyped. When they said they'd be doing it with traditional puppet techniques I was extra hyped. When they noted...
In our modern era of movie trailer editing, it’s pretty common to know exactly what a movie is about, how it will begin, and how it will end all within the couple minutes of footage the studio chooses to show. As if in mortal ter...
There seems to be some questionable rumo(u)rs floating around from some U.K. tabloids that Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker and showrunner Chris Chibnall won't be sticking around the TARDIS for that long. While Chibnall's status isn't set in...
Perhaps it will never reach the popularity of say, Friends, but The Good Place is an excellent and unique sitcom in its own right. Luckily for fans of the Michael Schur-created show, the light-hearted, philosophy and ethics-driven comedy wi...
If for whatever reason you've been following the production of the Monster Hunter movie, there is plenty to be worried about. The Resident Evil film husband-and-wife team of leading actress Milla Jovovich and writer...
Thanks to being in the realm of public domain, the Robin Hood story has quite the storied history in movies. Robin Hood was the first WB film to use technicolour. It got the Disney treatment. Russell Crowe, doing as he always does, worked h...
Like the White Walker army approaching Westeros, the final season of Game of Thrones is shambling towards its premiere after taking 2018 off. Through a new-ish video (with no new footage), HBO revealed that season 8 will begin sometime in ...

Joel Cornish, the wonderful human who brought us Attack the Block, is back to his antics of young people saving the world, and it looks pretty wonderful. It's the kind of film I would normally roll my eyes at as a quick cash grab off ...
"Why did you call me madam?" asked Jodie Whittaker's Doctor in the middle of her first big scene of premiere episode "The Woman Who Fell to Earth." "Because you're a woman," replied Yasmin (Mandip Gill). The Doctor responds with brief surpr...
Bringing Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's novel Good Omens to the screen was a saga far too long. Multiple attempts to make the fantasy-comedy story into a movie had failed, and it was then decided to turn it into a television sh...
A weird baby, a time-hopping sister, and a toddler on an epic adventure - I'm sold! It’s all here in the trailer for Mirai, the latest whimsical anime family feature from Mamoru Hosoda. The feature looks to be a perfectly adorable f...
I thoroughly enjoyed Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them for two reasons: 1) Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander was absolutely adorable and 2) the film finally let us explore the Wizarding World of Harry Potter instead of keeping us...
Like a TARDIS after a fiery regeneration sequence, a new age of Doctor Who is crashing down towards us at a breakneck pace. With a new Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and a new TARDIS crew (Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole, and Mandip Gil...
BBC clearly has high hopes for their adaptation of the His Dark Materials trilogy as word has come in that despite the first season still being in production, and the premiere date not even announced, they've greenlit the second s...
Apocalypse Rising is such a banal, generic title. It’s a word combination that filters straight to the back of your mind. It sounds so tedious and lackluster that you would wonder why anyone made it and if anyone would be dumb enough ...
Just in time for National Bowtie Day, Variety has confirmed that former Doctor Who leading man Matt Smith will join the cast of Star Wars: Episode IX. You can stop clutching onto your Doctor Who/Star Wars ...

Lucasfilm and their corporate overlords at Disney are on track to begin production on Star Wars: Episode IX, signifying it by officially announcing the core cast of the film. Most of the names were to be expected, with a couple of new ...
Take a moment to consider how you would imagine a movie about cowboy-ideal-personified Sam Elliott as a man who kills both Hitler and Bigfoot in that order. Fire, tanks, action, Nazis, and then two major showdowns against one of the world's...
